WARNING Be sure there is no power connection before starting installation!
2.1 Hard Disk Installation
2.1.1 4/8Ch Single Hard Disk Installation
The type of DVR contains one internal hard drive bracket for installing one SATA
hard drive.

Step 1 Unscrew the three screws on the rear side of the DVR housing.
Step 2 Slide the top cover towards its rear side and then lift it out.
Top Cover
12
4/8/16Ch H.264 Network DVR Series-MU.Ver2.3
Step 3 The HDD bracket would typically be secured on to the main body
with four screws (one screw for each corner). Place the hard drive
on top of the bracket and use their matching screw sockets on
either side (one side and three screws are illustrated) to fix them.
The end where the HDD data and power are to be connected
should be facing out.

Step 4 Attach the SATA data and power cables of the hard disk to their
respective ports on the system board (as indicated in the following
illustration).
The data ports are labeled J16 or J17 and the power port
(typically a white connector) is labeled PJ2.

2.2 Sensor and RS485 Connector Installation
4/8 Channel DVR
The 4/8-channel DVR follows the same way to install the Sensor and RS485
connectors.
Please refer to the following procedures:
Fix the screws on
either side
Fix the screws on
either side
20
4/8/16Ch H.264 Network DVR Series-MU.Ver2.3
16 Channel DVR
Installing the Sensor and RS485 connectors on the 16-channel DVR is similar to
the procedure shown above. The notable differences are the location of the port on
the DVR and the size of the connectors. In principle, the 16-channel DVR allows
more sensors to be connected to it.
2.3 Video Format Detection
The DVR can automatically detect the video format (either NTSC or PAL) after the
cameras have been properly installed and the DVR has been powered on.
Please refer the section “Hardware Setup” to setup the NTSC/PAL auto detection.
2.4 Connection Guide
Connect all peripheral devices properly before turn on the DVR.
2.4.1 Connecting Peripherals to a BNC Type DVR
The following diagrams serve as a guide to the back panel connection of 4Ch, 8Ch,
and 16Ch DVRs with BNC.
